LSE MSc Philosophy of the Social Sciences vs King's College London MA Political Economy

Hello,

I will graduate the University College London in this summer (BA archaeology) and expected result is 2:1.

Before I get a job in finance industry I would like to go graduate school
and I'm currently holding offers from

LSE - MSc Philosophy of the Social Sciences
UCL - MA philosophy
King's College London - MA Political Economy / MA Philosophy

From these offers,
I am seriously considering LSE and KCL for political economy

which uni is better for IB/consulting careers?

due to i haven't studied quantitive courses like econ or finance at undergraduate level, imo, political economy course at King's seems to be a good option but the name value of LSE is attractvie as well.

please help me!

 

Yeah, fundamentally it comes down to the fact LSE has a far superior careers service to UCL/KCL (both of which are respectable Unis). That being said, UCL places fairly well so don't rule it out completely.
